Roxio Easy VHS to DVD 3 Plus | VHS, Hi8, V8 Video to DVD or Digital Converter | Amazon Exclusive 2 Bonus DVDs [Windows]

I needed to digitize some old VCR tapes, and another product I bought was pitiful in terms of picture quality and features. This Roxio product does a much better job of digitizing the same VCR tapes playing through the same VCR deck onto the same laptop. I havent gotten deep into the various editing feature yet, just very happy to have decent picture quality at a reasonable price.

It worked fine for digitalizing my home movie coming off my VHS player and running it into my Mac. The rest of the features apparently did not down load. I had no way to edit the movie, add voice overs, and so forth let alone burn the final edited movie to a DVD. I called the phone number and the person assigned me a Corel case number. I got an email from them saying thanks and someone will get back with you and no one has. Im getting ready to send it back for a refund. I went to a local store that had this on the shelf and was told it wont work on a MAC so thats been the problem. Looks like Roxio could make that clear to start with. The device works fine for digitalizing and feeding your movie into your computer, then if you already have I-Movie or some other movie editing program, you can do lots of stuff, but if you want to burn your movie to a DVD, this program you have bought from Roxio wont work on your MAC. I discovered that going thru Finder, you can burn things to DVDs, but your movie ends up as a Data DVD and cant be played on a TV. Next stop will be the MAC store up the road.

Bought to convert old VHS tapes. Tried to download the software. I have newer laptop with windows 10. Could not get past first screen because I got message to plug in Roxio hardware even though it was plugged in. I unplugged and tried different usb. Same message. I started a chat with Roxio which after awhile led to them creating a ticket and note tech would call. I called product support and that ended the same with new ticket. Both tickets were acknowledged and I was requested to send a description of the issue. No response on either for over 24 hrs and then received another email asking me to describe the issue. Very disappointed and I am now beyond my return window.

It wont burn the DVDs. However, Im just glad that I got to save old home videos as digital files on my laptop. My only complaint is that the videos look more fuzzy and theres a pesky purple bar on the top of each video that has everyone looking like Thanos. It wasnt there before, but it doesnt bother me that much because it eventually fades away in longer videos.

Used this to convert several VHS to dvd. The software has basic editing tools and is easy to use. Note this version of the software does not produce MP4 only dvd

After you figure out the quirks, this product works extremely well. For my first few tries, the audio was distorted. To fix this, I had to do two things. 1) in windows sound properties, I made the volume VERY low (3%). 2) in the vhs software, I made the volume slider also very low (pretty much all the way to the left plus a tiny amount). After that, audio was perfect and surprisingly not as quiet as those settings would have you believe.

I worked with their support team for a LONG time and never could get it to work. That included updating all kinds of software and drivers on my PC, even switching to a different PC, and finally getting bumped up to level 2 support. Although their level 2 support seemed really good, one indication of their support structure is that they kept sending me emails saying we havent heard from you in x days. Reply to this email with additional data or to say it is resolved. When I replied to that email, I got an automated email back saying that that email address was no longer monitored and to try contacting them another way!

You need an audio/video cable not included. The one with the red, yellow and white plugs on both ends. After a couple of tries and converting a trial video, it was easy to use. Comes with DVDs but computers nowadays don’t have a way to play them. Videos are saved to the video folder on computer. My home VHS videos are now on line. There were no instructions on how to crop parts of the video. So I recorded the complete video. You press record, walk away and check every so often. It does have a feature to stop at the end of the recording. I would recommend this product.

After trying another brand that didn’t work and no tech support after 1/2 a week tried this one. Connected to computer, downloaded software, fired up the VCR and success. True I have an extra step to import into Pinnacle, but this take minimum effort. Recommend this to all. One thing, I noticed they use the same tech support as the brand that didn’t work. Just saying.

This was easy to install but kept crashing and some options not working. Not sure if I did something wrong or my system so will try on another
